Authors note: This fanfic is based entirely of 'what if' questions, therefore, do NOT insist anything or else you will not understand it. For example: don't insist when I refer to "Alice's power" that it works exactly like in the book, more will be explained throughout the fic. So enjoy .

"That is true, but there is always chances," Alice countered to him. They were having our typical 'vegetarian' vs. 'flexatarian' debate. Alice, like Carlisle and Esme, was a 'Vegetarian Vampire'. They believed in hunting and drinking animals only, while Edward believed you should drink from humans as long as you stop yourself from taking too much and inflicting permanent damage to them.

"Alice," he sighed as he shook his head, "We are monsters, that's what we are"

"No, Edward, that's just what you tell yourself," she retorted, "You think just because we're different we shouldn't be here, like we should be dammed…"

"We are damned," he held up his finger to her in a reminding sort of way. She snorted and rolled her eyes. This was the way this forever going to debate always went for them. Edward believed they were monsters and there was nothing they could do about it, that they deserved to suffer by forcing ourselves to stop drinking before full, and also that they (vampires) deserved to live among them (humans) just so they were forced to agonize over the always amplifying desire. She, on the other hand, preferred to think of herself just like humans with just a "different appetite". She was ridiculous.

He drove the Volvo into his typical space for another typical day. They climbed out and immediately he was bombarded by thoughts from the other students.

I wonder what Julie…

Do I look okay?

I heard there was a new student…

Y equals MX plus B… Y equals.. crap!

Oh it's Edward, he's so gorgeous…

There's Ann…

Alice is so sexy…

That last one made him cringe and he shivered lightly. Alice was practically his sister, thinking of her as 'sexy' was…quiet disturbing. Alice caught his expression and grinned, they knew each other so well it was like they knew what each other was thinking without thinking at all. She giggled when he stuck his tongue out in distaste and he opened the door to the school building.

Inside the voices were louder, all pointless jibber jabber about this, that, and the other. He decided to tune into Alice's mind for a break from the others.

Did you hear about the new student? Was her thought. Often they talked like that, just for fun. She would ask a question in her mind and he would answer aloud, due to this they received many strange glances, although most of the time he talked so fast and low none of the students even noticed.

He nodded, "Someone was thinking about it"

I hear her name is Isabella, isn't that a pretty name? Maybe I should change my name… her thoughts began to trail as always and he laughed. Together they walked to their first classes which were door-by-door.

"Off to another pointless class…" Alice mumbled as she opened the door and disappeared inside.

Edward sat down in his pre-calculus class in the last seat as always. No students sat near him, they were either too intimidated or frightened. There were little sparks in their minds that went off when he was near, they didn't realize it really, but it was like a warning light telling them danger was aloof. He sighed to himself and began to allow his mind to wander.

Lunch came all too slowly and there he rejoined Alice happily. She began rambling even before his bottom touched the chair:

"There are actually two new students, not just one. She has a twin brother, his name was…" she thought for a moment before waving it away, "Ok, I don't remember his name but Isabella, or Bella, is in my first period she's really-"

"Alice," Edward groaned, "Please, I've been hearing enough about the new students from the other idiotic adolescents, please don't let me hear it from you too"

She pouted her lips and sat quietly. You could have at least allowed me to finish my sentence.

"I already knew what you were going to say," he tapped his head and she rolled her eyes, after a few seconds of silence he finally agreed to play along since it was obvious she didn't want the conversation to end.

"His name is Jasper," he said simply

"Right, that was it," she perked up a bit. Silence fell again but this time not from her anger, merely from the fact there was nothing interesting to talk about.

"So," he said after a few moments of playing with the macaroni on his plate, "Did you have an interesting day thus far?"

She nodded absently and he raised his eyebrows at her. After a second he burst into laughter.

"What?" she asked obviously embarrassed, "What it's no big deal!"

"You…you…" he chuckled, "You fancy the new kid"

"I do not!" she replied but it was obvious due to her thoughts so after a few more seconds of enduring her brothers laughter she started to explain, "I don't 'fancy' him, he's just…"

"Sorry," he waved his hand away and tried to silence his laughter, "You don't 'like' him, you just think he looks 'yummy'"

She nodded sulkily, "He looks nice…nicer than anyone else around here"

He glanced over to where the two new students sat, just in time to see the new girl Isabella, Bella he corrected himself, throw her head down. She was staring at them. He wasn't surprised at all; all the students did it now and again.

Out of curiosity he looked into her mind. Nothing. He was faintly alarmed and he tried harder, staring more intently at her. Nothing.

"He's staring at you," Jasper whispered to Bella. He could hear their talking, but no thoughts.

"Why?" her face reddened as she stared more intently into her food and Edward could hear her heart rate speed up from across the room

"I don't know," Jasper whispered back. Still no thoughts. Edward shook his head and tried Jasper's mind…

That Edward kid is giving me the creeps…

He turned his attention back to Isabella, staring at her again. Again nothing.

He gasped out loud and Alice's head turned to him, alarmed.

"What is it?" she asked quietly

"Nothing," he forced his head back down

"Don't lie to me Edward," she said staring intently into his eyes, as if trying to read his mind although that was not her gift at all.

The bell rang and he leapt to his feet, ignoring his sister calling after him.
